Krishna
The lord Krishna, one of the most important of the avatars of the god Vishnu, has many tricksters characteristics. It should be noted, however, that Krishna trickery has a moral purpose that defeat its apparent amorality.
Krishna became the most loved of the Hindu gods, a god viewed as a teacher, a god who not only believes in war but a god of love who gives those who worshiped him a gift of grace. A loving god could be found here and there in the old Vedic hymns of the Aryans, but this new focus on a loving god and the satisfaction it brought to the people of India was a challenge to Hindu priests, for it offered salvation without the need for ritual sacrifices.
